Subject: [RFC PATCH] mm: fix device-dax pud write-faults triggered by get_user_pages()
Date: Thu, 09 Nov 2017 23:22:52 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <151029856297.1840.13140526760496306393.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.com> (raw)
Currently only get_user_pages_fast() can safely handle the writable gup
case due to its use of pud_access_permitted() to check whether the pud
entry is writable. In the gup slow path pud_write() is used instead of
pud_access_permitted() and to date it has been unimplemented, just calls
BUG_ON().
kernel BUG at ./include/linux/hugetlb.h:244!

Use pud_access_permitted() to implement pud_write(), a later cleanup can
remove {pte,pmd,pud}_write and replace them with
{pte,pmd,pud}_access_permitted() drectly so that we only have one set of
helpers these kinds of checks. For now, implementing pud_write()
simplifies -stable backports.

Sending this as RFC for opinion on whether this should just be a
pud_flags() & _PAGE_RW check, like pmd_write, or pud_access_permitted()
that also takes protection keys into account.
